Daddy would be more than willing. Problem is that he gets a call and has to hop on a plane at a moments notice. Scheduling anything is a nightmare for me. I would be doing a lot of things if he didn't have to travel. But then maybe not, because we might not have any $$$ then. Lol. And you might laugh, but mommy is the one who makes the neon mac and cheese. Daddy is the chef of the family. Thanks, Annette.

Is it called Iyengar yoga? The breathing thing is funny, isn't it? We think we're doing a good job of it all day, but then you sit down to meditate or do yoga, and you realize you've been panting out of your chest all the time, instead of taking true and deep breaths from your belly all the way up. Such a different feeling. Relaxing and freeing. Good for you, Diana! Is it called Iyengar yoga?

I love my b donka donk. I hope I don't lose it. The instructors all seem to have them, so I think that's a good sign. Also, we don't do it in hot rooms. It's some other kind of yoga. Is there one that starts with an I? I'm amazed at the difference in this yoga class and the one I took in Florida. Here you're all in the pose, feeling good, and they're like, so, are you spiralling this? And then you do, and it's like --whoa, so THAT'S what that's supposed to feel like? I always feel so creative after breathing deeply for an hour. I just started a yoga class. I love my b donka donk. I hope I don’t lose it.

(actually i've been steadfastly hanging on to mine for the all too probable eventuality of my black chopper going down over the impenatrable amazon jungle and i'd have to live off of it for the weeks it would take me to rebuild the damaged gps device or navigate my way to civilization by the northern cross--sometimes it pays to have a little "inventory" on hand). i never knew having a b donka donk would be a life saver.
